Craig Rondinone profiles tight end Eric Ebron as a waiver wire pickup for Week 1 of the 2018 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron was viewed as a disappointment by fantasy owners and Lions fan during his four-year tenure in Detroit. The former first-round pick only caught 11 touchdown passes over that span and only averaged 45 receptions and 515 yards per season, and he was part of a pass-first offense that could not run the ball, so you would think he could have done a lot more with his skill set on that squad.
Ebron now is the No. 2 TE behind workmanlike Jack Doyle, who makes key catches but has no chance of winning a gold medal in the 100-yard-dash (8.6 YPC in 2017). A healthy Andrew Luck could give Ebron’s fantasy value new life if there are enough targets for him after Doyle and T.Y. Hilton get theirs. Ebron is worth a fantasy flyer if your tight end situation on your team is as murky as a polluted ocean.
